Regarding the query by Shri.Venkataraghavan , MSCEB, P O Box:

111, Manama, Bahrain about Thiruppaavai in devanagari script.

 

 

I am not aware of any Sanskrit version of Thiruppaavai but I have

some information about Thiruppaavai available in Hindi. There is

an excellent book writen by Sri. Vidwan K.S.Raghavachary of Sri

Rangam for the benefit of people who are familiar with Hindi and

Devanagari script. I met his son in Sri Rangam last year. From

his son I came to know that this project of bringing out this

book was

initiated by the Late President Shri. Shankar Dayal Sharma and

was entrusted to Sri.K.S.Rahavachari who is an exponent in

Sanskrit and Hindi. The book was printed with preface written by

HH Ahobila Mutt Jeyar (dated 18.05.96) and Justice

Sri.M.Srinivasan (dated 1.2.96) of High Court Madras. For lack of

promotion and advertisement, the copies of this book could not be

sold as expected and a large number of copies are still unsold.

He was requesting me if anything could be done about this. I

requested him to send me a copy of the book so that I will post

this information in the bhakti list and other vaishnava related

sites. I received the copy recently and was thinking of posting

it in the internet. Bhagavath sankalpam this query came in the

list today. I will scan few pages and send them to few sites and

also to Shri.Venkataraghavan. The book was priced at Rs.30 ( I

don't know now). For copies, please write to

 

Shri.Vidwan K.S.Raghavachary

The press address is : Embar Graphics

( I am not sure if it is available here)

 

I hope the hindi version would serve the purpose of reading

thiruppavai as the scripts are similar.

 

I also appeal to all through this posting that such a great

pioneering work should be encouraged. It is very sad that

Shri.K.S.Raghavachary Swami invested his personal money in

getting this printed as a kainkaryam and there is a huge loss for

him because not many copies were sold. I will be sending few

scanned pages of the paasurams and his lucid translaton in hindi

to all the popular vaishnavite sites and request them to post

this appeal about this publication.
